Brewed By:
Baladin
Self-Defined Style:
Saison Le Baladin Wayan is made of 17 different ingredients {barley, wheat, spelt, oats, rye, different types of hops & many different spices besides coriander. Teo calls it a "Saison" but it is certainly his personal definition of a saison. Aroma & palate are rather complex, ie it takes some time to find your way through it, so to speak. The different hops are barely noticeable. The balance & bitterness is by a high degree provided by those many spices some of which are very unusual in brewing {Teo does not disclose them} . This quite unusual combination of spices & herbs greatly impacts the finish which again is very different from "regular saison-style ales".
Best With:
Saisons are incredibly versatile brews, but this one is perfectly matched with a cumin-habenero shrimp over greens, most Thai foods as well as spicy pork sausage with a side of sautéed apples.
